Recreate the David and Goliath Story
Ever tried to explain David and Goliath to a three-year-old? Make it easier by turning it into a game! Create a kid-sized slingshot with soft balls for stones. Let them aim at a ‘giant’ paper figure on the wall. Motivate them to say the verse, ‘The battle is the Lord’s,’ before launching. A perfect combination of fun and learning!
Take a moment to bring this timeless tale to life in an interactive and engaging way. Encouraging children to experience stories through play can foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for the lessons they hold.
Noah’s Ark Animal Parade
Noah’s Ark is a favorite story among kids. Why not bring it to life? Gather animal plush toys or even print animal pictures. Get a large cardboard box as the ‘ark.’ Let kids pair up the animals and lead them to the ark. It’s a fun way to emphasize teamwork and the message of God’s promise.
Jonah and the Big Fish Relay Race
Transform your backyard into Jonah’s ocean! Set up different stations representing parts of Jonah’s journey: ship, fish’s belly, and Nineveh. Kids can run, jump, and crawl through each station while learning about obedience. Chant, God’s plan is always the best plan! at the finish line.
Daniel in the Lion’s Den Drama Time
Bring some theater into your living room! Dress up and reenact the story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den. Create lion masks and use pillows for the ‘den.’ As parents, you get to be the ‘good’ lions who don’t harm Daniel, showing God’s protection. Keeps kids excited and engaged!
Building Babel Blocks
Building Babel Blocks is an excellent way of teaching teamwork and humility. Stack building blocks to make a ‘tower.’ As they build, discuss how pride led to confusion in the Bible. It’s an engaging way to teach an important life lesson while developing motor skills.
Explore the concept of collaboration through a fun and interactive activity. Encourage participants to work together, communicate effectively, and support each other to create a strong and stable structure.
Shepherd’s Treasure Hunt
Hide small toys or candies around the house and turn it into a shepherd’s treasure hunt, teaching them about the Good Shepherd. Give them hints and have them search like shepherds looking for their sheep. Celebrate together by discussing the joy of finding the ‘lost’ treasures.
